Can an owner direct the way the strata is repaired?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from The Owners, Strata Plan KAS977 v. Kabos, 2019 BCCRT 982 (CanLII):

77. An owner cannot direct the strata how to conduct its repairs, according to Swan v. The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 410, 2018 BCCRT 241. Although that decision of the tribunal is not binding on me, I find it helpful and relevant.
